This is a website from channel 4, regarding the issue of terrorism within democracy. It also describes what terrorism is protrayed as.
WHAT IS TERRORISM
Terror tactics
Terrorism can be defined as 'violent acts carried out by organised groups and aimed at causing widespread terror'. Terrorism is not a movement or a political programme. It is a tactic adopted by different groups and for different reasons.
Terrorists act from many different motives: political, nationalist or religious. They also have many different targets. Terrorists may attack the public, assassinate prominent individuals or damage property. Their goal may be to bring down a government, to force policy changes or merely to gain publicity for their cause.

Media and Terrorism: Friends or Foes?
In a panel for The Media and Terrorism: Friends or Foes, the panellists debated how terrorism should be reported, and whether journalists should feel bound by political or professional imperatives. While some argued that the journalists only obligation was towards the reader, others stressed that it was important to deny the terrorists the oxygen of publicity. One panellist said that democracy dies in bits, meaning that the increasing restrictions imposed on reporting as well as the self-censorship practiced by many journalists had gradually, yet substantially, eroded civil liberties.
IS THE MEDIA OVER EXAGERATING AND OVER EMPHASISES THE ISSUE OF TERRORISM. OR IS IT THE GOVERNMENT ANG POLICE FORCE WHO SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IN POTENTIALLY SCARING THE PUBLIC AND ENHANCING THIS SENSE OF MORAL PANIC THAT CURRENTLY SURROUNDS THE FEAR OF TERRORISM.
Moral Panics
What is a moral panic?
A moral panic is an unjustified fear of somthing which tends to find expression on a wide scale in the public arena; Blaming an object or activity for wider social evils/ills.
Typically they feature:
Anxieties about the young and working class 'getting out of hand'
fear of new technologies
fear of the modern world and nostalgia for the 'golden age' in the past
assumption of copycatting
sex and violence: young people finding out about the adult world
Some well known moral panics from the past
Childs Play and video nasties
Mods and Rockers
Internet porn
Effects on society
These moral panics cause a big reaction in society.
Is It Forest Gate All Over Again, Ask UK Muslims
LONDON, 12 August 2006 — Following the arrests of 24 Muslim men across London, Birmingham and High Wycombe, community leaders have come out sharply against the police action demanding that the police show solid evidence to back the arrests.
Terror raids were carried out early on Thursday morning in connection with an alleged terrorist plot to blow up airplanes leaving various British airports.
Dr. Mohammad Naseem, chairman of Birmingham Central Mosque, told Arab News that he had no confidence in the police raids, “especially with the track record of the police.” He added that the “arrests could be part of a political agenda; by targeting Muslims and using the perception of terrorism, the government is trying to usurp all our civil liberties.”
He stressed that the police had arrested the men in Birmingham with no clear evidence. He said he was amazed because “these same two young men had been previously arrested twice before and released without charge.” According to Dr. Naseem, the community in Birmingham was in a state of shock because the men who had been arrested came from ordinary Pakistani backgrounds and that their families were religious law-abiding people. Dr. Naseem stated, “None of the people in the area, Muslims and non-Muslims, believe the police story about a terror plot, as their previous bungled raid in Forest Gate has proved.”
Sir Iqbal Sacraine, former head of the Muslim Council of Britain, also supports local community demands for more evidence. “If the raid took place to prevent terrorist acts then we applaud the police, but the police must not act on the basis of suspicion only. If we don’t have facts we are in danger of speculation, which in turn can lead to tarnishing the whole community with the same brush,” he said.
Sir Iqbal added, “We then play into the hands of the neocons, Islamaphobes and Zionists who want any chance to denigrate the Muslim community and call them terrorists. Therefore we need the police to work sensibly and to produce hard evidence to support these raids”
LOCAL MUSLIMS SEEM TO BE GETTING FED UP WITH THE CONSTANT RAIDING OF INNOCENT MUSLIMS, AS THEY BELIEVE THE POLICE LACK EVIDENCE. ARE THEY BEING ARRESTED BASED ON THE NEGATIVE STEREOTYPICAL IMAGE THE MEDIA HAS PROTRAYED OF MUSLIMS.

Man shot in anti-terrorism raid
A 23-year-old man has been shot by police during a house raid involving 250 officers carried out early on Friday under the Terrorism Act.
The man, who was later arrested, was taken to hospital after the search in Forest Gate, east London. His injuries are not life-threatening.
A 20-year-old man is also being held at a central London police station.
A single shot was fired, according to the Independent Police Complaints Commission, which will investigate.
The operation was not linked to the London bombings of July 2005, police have said.
"Because of the very specific nature of the intelligence we planned an operation that was designed to mitigate any threat to the public either from firearms or from hazardous substances,"
The purpose of the raid was to prove or disprove intelligence they had received.
The 23-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of the commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism as he was being treated at the Royal London hospital.
The 20-year-old man was being questioned at Paddington Green police station.
Police officers in protective clothing have moved into the terraced house in Lansdown Road in what is being described as a "precautionary measure".
The search of the premises is expected to take several days.
A white and yellow tent has been set up outside the property, while workmen are inserting a two-storey high scaffolding screen around the building.
Several people in the house at the time of the raid have been moved to other premises. They have not been arrested.
A 14-year-old boy Nimesh Patel, who saw the raid, said police broke in through a window, and then opened the front door.
He said the person shot appeared to have a shoulder injury.
Another witness said he had seen a man wearing a bloodstained T-shirt being carried out of the house after the raid.
Meanwhile, a group of around 20 Asian men have gathered outside the gates of the Royal London hospital to protest at what they believe was heavy handed treatment by the police in the raid.
Surveillance
BBC home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said the raids follow an investigation into international terrorism targeting the UK.
Security sources have described the Forest Gate raid as "potentially significant" and said it followed months of surveillance.
The raid followed discussions between MI5, the Met's anti-terrorist branch and the Health Protection Agency - which advised on the potential health risks of the raid.
An examination of the officers' firearms confirms that a single shot was discharged in circumstances that are currently under investigation."
The Civil Aviation Authority says an air exclusion zone has been set up over east London and will be in place for four days.
Mixed community
Residents said Forest Gate was a typical east London "mixed" community with a large number of Bengali and Pakistani families, along with a recent influx of Eastern Europeans.
One neighbour said the operation early this morning had involved "the most police I've seen in my life".
Another neighbour said a family lived at the address.
"They were respectable and nice people and we do not know anything else. They have always been nice to us," she said.
"They have lived there for a long time. The kids all go to school locally."

Real STOP 'N' SEARCH! ' for Guantanamo cast - no acting required
Guantanamo actors held at Luton airport
The actors who star in movie The Road to Guantanamo and the original detainnee Ruhal Ahmed were questioned by police at Luton airport under anti-terrorism legislation, it has emerged. The men, who play British inmates at the detention camp, were returning from the Berlin Film Festival where the movie won a Silver Bear award.
One of the actors, Rizwan Ahmed, said a police officer asked him if he intended to make any more "political" films.
The men were released quickly and not arrested, said Bedfordshire police.
INQUIRY
"Six people were stopped under the Terrorism Act. This is something that happens all the time and obviously at airports and train stations," said a spokeswoman.
"There is a heightened state of security since the London bombings. Public safety is paramount."
COULD ALL OF THIS BE BECAUSE OF THE SIGNIFCANT VIEWS RELATING TO MORAL PANIC THAT THE GOVERNMENT,MEDIA AND THE PUBLIC HOLD?
Actor Farhad Harun was also questioned, along with Shafiq Rusul and Rhuhel Ahmed, the men whose detention in Guantanamo is chronicled in the film.
Mr Ahmed also alleges that he was verbally abused by a police officer and had his mobile phone taken from him for a short period.
The actor also claims that he was told by police that he could be held for up to 48 hours without access to a lawyer.
He says he was initially questioned at the airport's baggage pick-up area and taken to a separate room when he demanded to know why.
They have called for an urgent inquiry into what happened while one of the film's producers, Melissa Parmenter, said the detention was outrageous.

Tipton 3 interigation - part 12 of the film
Just a glimse of the film.
No one could tell these young boys they were guilty, when they weren't.
They all had alabys, and were later proven inocent.
Michael Winterbottom's protrayal of what the young British Muslims incountered is shown with such realism and the young actors who played them have done a superb job as young Ruhal Ahmed, Asig Iqbal and Shafiq Rasul, the young lads from Tipton.
Amoungst the cast was Riz Ahmed (who played Shafiq Rasul)the young British actor who plays Sohail in BRITZ.

Ruhal Ahmed (TIPTON 3) Speaks ....
Life at Guantánamo Bay
Ahmed was stripped down, given body and cavity searches and had his head and beard shaved. He was then dressed in goggles, a woolen cap, a jacket and what jailers called a "three piece suit": a chain that wraps around the waist, connecting handcuffs to shackles. He was on his way to Guantánamo.
There, abuse continued as "the rule, not the exception," Ahmed recalls. Interrogations would be as often as twice a day, or as lengthy as twelve hours, he adds.
A change in leadership, he says, changed detainee life for the worse.
"The treatment got really, really bad when [Major General] Miller came," Ahmed avers. "That's when it all started. That's when the torture and interrogation with dogs, hot and cold environment -- stuff like that started happening."
When asked what other forms of abuse he personally experienced, Ahmed says quickly and gravely, "sexual abuse." A strange silence follows. When asked for specifics, he says simply, "I don't really want to go into details."
THE CONFESSION!
"After going through five months of torture, being interrogated twice a day, left in isolation," Ahmed says, "they broke me."
He and his friends admitted to appearing in a propaganda video with Osama bin Laden and 9/11 hijacker Mohammed Atta, both of whom he claims to have never met.
But the confession was contradicted by evidence already known to UK authorities: that Ahmed was working, on probation, and serving community service in Tipton at the time the tape was filmed.
Ahmed admits to having been arrested for a number of petty offenses, including theft, lying to police, and handling stolen goods. Though none of the crimes linked him to militant Islam, they provided investigators with a public record of his whereabouts at the time the tape was filmed.
"They had no idea what they were doing," he adds. "They just wanted scapegoats. They just want people to believe that Guantánamo Bay is right."
Ahmed believes that Guantánamo interrogators were "obviously" aware that they were extracting false information from detainees. "By torturing people, you cannot make them confess the truth," he explains. "You can make them say what you want, but you can't get what you don't [already] know. Torture doesn't work."
"It shouldn't be allowed in any country, whatsoever," he adds. "Even if a tortured person is a terrorist, you've just become a terrorist by torturing them. You've actually come to his level, and that's the last thing you want."
BACK INTO THE WORLD !!!
"One day," Ahmed continues, "they just told us we were coming home. We were handed over to the British government, the British police and [then] to Paddington in London."
After two days of questioning at Paddington Station, he explains, "They open the doors and said, 'you can go home.'"
The release of Ahmed, Iqbal and Rasul in March 2004 came four months after the US Supreme Court agreed to hear the detainees' legal challenge to their indefinite imprisonment without charges, and less than three months before the court sided in their favor.
"I think that was one of the reasons why we were released," Ahmed says. "It's not the reason, but it's probably one of the reasons. There was a lot of pressure on Tony Blair by the British MPs."
Ahmed is now married, with a family. Dogs and children are frequent interruptions in an otherwise sober interview.

Tipton three complain of beatings
Three Britons released from Guantanamo Bay after two years of imprisonment have told of the conditions they endured as terror suspects.
The three - Ruhal Ahmed, 22, Asif Iqbal, 22, and Shafiq Rasul, 26, all from Tipton in the West Midlands.
They had been captured in Afghanistan, suspected of links to the Taleban, and were taken to the US camp in Cuba.
The three told UK newspapers they were often beaten by US troops.
Their claims of abuse come after similar descriptions by two other released Britons.
But US Secretary of State Colin Powell has dismissed claims of mistreatment. Mr Powell, told ITV's Tonight: "We have watched Guantanamo Bay very carefully, knowing of the interest of a number of nations, including the United Kingdom, and knowing that we have responsibilities under the Geneva Convention, and because we are Americans, we don't abuse people who are in our care."
Mr Powell said it was "not in the American tradition to treat people in that manner"
Yet Americans are known to be assertive and not tolerate what they belivev to be terrorism. They belive that Guantanamo Bay is a humane place, quite the poosite in the film.
So who do we believe ????

The Road to Guantanamo - TRAILOR
Channel 4's drama from multi award-winning film director Michael Winterbottom – The Road to Guantanamo – created huge international impact and won the prestigious Silver Bear for Direction for Winterbottom and Mat Whitecross in competition at The 56th Berlin International Film Festival.
The Road to Guantanamo .....
Synopsis
The film tells the story of Ruhal Ahmed, Asif Iqbal and Shafiq Rasul (the 'Tipton Three'); three young British men from Tipton in the West Midlands of Pakistani and Bangladeshi origins who traveled to Pakistan in September 2001 just days after the September 11 terrorist attacks in the USA for supposedly a wedding for a friend of theirs. While staying at a mosque in Karachi, the three decided to take a rash and dangerous trip to Afghanistan to see first-hand the encounters of the region.
Mixed with interviews with the three men themselves, and archive news footage from the period, the film contains an account of the three men's experiences from their travels into Afghanistan and to their capture and imprisonment.
Traveling by van, Ruhal, Asif, and Shafiq, with two other friends, crossed the border in October, 2001 just as U.S. warplanes began attacking Taliban positions all over the country. They made it to Kandahar without incident, and later to the capital city of Kabul a few days later. After nearly a month of "lingering" aimlessly around Kabul, the Tipton Three decided to return to Pakistan. But through a combination of bad luck and the increasing chaos, the friends apparently took the wrong bus which traveled further into Afghanistan towards the north and the front-line fighting between the Taliban and the Northern Alliance rebels.
Imprisoned at a base at Mazzar-e Sharif, they were interrogated and discovered to be of British origin. With no luggage, money, passports, and no reason or clear explanation for being in Afghanistan, Ruhal, Asif, and Shafiq were handed over to the United States military and imprisoned in a U.S. Army stockade for a month with other foreign Taliban soldiers, being regularly interrogated and occasionally beaten by American soldiers.
In January, 2002, the 'Tipton Three' were declared "enemy combatants" by the U.S. Military, and flown with dozens of other Taliban and Al-Qaeda fighters to Guantánamo Bay, Cuba where they remained for the next two years. They were held in mostly solitary confinement without charge or legal representation.
The rest of the film shows several scenes depicting their alleged beatings during interrogation, the use of alleged torture techniques such as 'stress positions' and attempts to extract forced confessions of involvement with Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. The isolation continued from the Camp X-Ray where they were held as well as another camp during the two years they were there where they were subjected to more questioning by U.S. Army and CIA interrogators. Because of the devastating 9/11 attacks committed by Al-Qaeda on U.S. soil, the Americans believe that Al-Qaeda is the one acting illegally and its members and affiliates deserve absolutely no protection or special treatment under any international laws.
The Tipton Three were all released without charge and without any compensation for their imprisonment in 2004. The three were flown back to England where, one year later, they went back to Pakistan for the wedding they planned to attend in the first place.

What I am looking to research .....
Critical Research
For my critical research i am going to be focusing on the issues surrounding 'CRIME AND THE MEDIA'. This is because i am interested in researching British crime involving young Muslims, the possibility that 'moral panic' surrounding young Muslims is leading to the hype of Terrorism or Extremism. I am planning to evaluate the different stereotypes that young Muslims uphold within the western society since the tragedies of 9/11 and 7/7. I will be closely studying documentaries that focus on my area such as Channel 4 Dispatches, also documentary dramas such as 'BRITZ' and 'THE ROAD TO GUANTANAMO'.
I want to explore the detaining process of fugatives, when arressted on terrorism laws. The recent Hollywood film 'RENDITION' complies with this. Also the detaining process of the Tipton 3 in GUANTANAMO BAY for over 2 and a half years.
Also i want to research how innocent civilians can get caught up in terrorism related issues due to moral panic within the media. For example the young Muslims boys who were arressted from Forest Gate.

unlucky myspace......
Facebook Hammers MySpace on Almost All Key Features
When you think of social networks you probably think of MySpace. But recently, Facebook has been gaining popularity - since it opened up beyond college users, it has enjoyed a flood of new users, boosted further by the launch of Facebook apps. It’s time these two social networks fought it out.
Round 1: Design
Layout: Facebook wins here because the profiles are well set up and neatly organized and it’s easy to navigate through the profiles to find the info you want. It mainly beats MySpace because most profiles are so ugly and inconsistent.
Overall Site Design: Facebook is obviously the winner here. MySpace looks so unprofessionally done when compared to Facebook, mainly again because of it’s inconsistent design. This time its MySpace themselves, not the users, who make the site difficult to use.
Profiles: This is a tie because MySpace has a lot of customization, but Facebook’s default looks better than MySpace’s and it’s very neat and well organized.
Customization: MySpace and Facebook tie here. While Facebook lets you add and remove applications, MySpace lets you do whatever you want with the pages, if you know a little HTML that is. Unfortunately thats the reason MySpace’s design is so unruly for the most part.
Site Organization: Both site are pretty well organized. However, Facebook wins because of its clean layout that allows you to find everything right away, and it’s start page is a link to everything you need in neat and tidy boxes.
Round Winner: Facebook!
Round 2: Media
Pictures: Facebook wins here because of its well-organized picture section and the ability to tag people and have people tag themselves. Also, with the apps recently released you can now add Fiickr and other photosharing site streams to your profile. However, Fox now owns Photobucket, which provides photo hosting to MySpace users.
Videos: This one is a tie because both MySpace and Facebook let you upload video and they both have their own flash player. MySpace will let you embed video into your profile but you can post videos to Facebook as well.
Music: MySpace wins, but only just - we all know that every band ever has a MySpace account . However, with the new Facebook apps you can add your data from music tracking sites like Last.fm and iLike: in fact the top app on Facebook at the moment is the iLike app.
Sharing: Now, Facebook’s advantage here is only a slight one. Facebook allows you to share media links very easily and i fact automatically though the Facebook feed, something that I’m sure many MySpace users would like to be able to do (MySpace News isn’t really suited to this). You can, however, grab embedded media like videos from other profiles to repost on MySpace.
Round Winner: Facebook!
Round 3: Community
Relationships: A big difference on Facebook is that the friends you add are usually your real friends. It’s not a contest like on MySpace where everyone is trying to have the most friends. On Facebook it about talking to the people you know and sharing things with them.
Groups: Both sites have groups, but Facebook makes them more prominent. They are a bigger part of the service and there are a lot of people using them for clever uses like planning meet up and giving info to fans.
Keeping Track of What’s New: Facebook kills MySpace here. On MySpace the only way to know if a friend added something new to their profile is to go look at it, and the only way to know if you made a new friends is to look for the person. Facebook has two feeds. One tells you what’s new with you, like who accepted your friend request or your posted items, etc. The other feed tells you what’s up with all your friends, like who they added and what groups they joined.
Messaging: This is a tie. They both have a place where people can leave messages on your profile and they both have a basic mail system.
Co-Workers: Facebook can be used as a tool to talk to the people you work with also and see what’s new with them. You can even join a network for your company. MySpace was really designed for teens so it doesn’t really have these types of features.
Round Winner: Facebook!
Round 4: Usefulness
Finding Old Friends: One of the major reasons for joining a social network is to reconnect with old friends or classmates. Facebook makes this really easy because the whole site is organized by schools and now by locations too. So unless you forgot your friends name you will probably be able to find them if they have an account. MySpace lets you search for school friends, but doesn’t put the emphasis on real friendships.
Communication:Facebook is a good way to contact people if you don’t know their contact info. Someone is more likely to notice a Facebook message than a MySpace Message due to the fact that there is less Facebook spam.
Promoting Yourself: MySpace wins here. Thousands of bands use MySpace to promote their music and their fans use it to show their support. This isn’t nearly as evident on Facebook, although groups allow companies to promote themselves.
Getting Laid: If you are looking for action, then you’ll probably want to go with MySpace - see our survey for the reasons behind this.
Round Winner: MySpace!
Round 5: Ease of Use
Adding Friends: MySpace wins here because adding new friends and accepting friends requests is usually a one click process. The major advance here over Facebook is the ability to add large amounts of friends at once which for some reason was never added to Facebook.
Search: The winner here is a little bit surprising when you consider Google does the search for the loser. Facebook’s search beats MySpace by a mile. Even though the search engine giant Google is providing MySpace’s search, its results are not nearly as useful as Facebook’s. The big issue here is that MySpace’s search looks in the whole profile, even when just looking for a person, Facebook’s is smart enough to know if you are looking for a user or a movie in someone’s interests.
Navigation: Both MySpace and Facebook have pretty decent navigation, but Facebook beats MySpace when it comes to getting to specific people’s profiles due to its superior search.
Privacy: Facebook makes it really easy to hide info from certain people and to not show information that you want to be kept private. So, if you only want you close friends to see you contact info, it only takes a second. MySpace has privacy too, but it’s far less granular.
Round Winner: Facebook!
An the Winner is… Facebook!!
MySpace was a great social network for a while, but now there are too many spammers and the developers have stopped innovating. Facebook is just starting to become popular (well, popular with those who were not on it when it was limited to schools). So, you might want to check it out, while it’s still cool.
When you think of social networks you probably think of MySpace. But recently, Facebook has been gaining popularity - since it opened up beyond college users, it has enjoyed a flood of new users, boosted further by the launch of Facebook apps. It’s time these two social networks fought it out.
Round 1: Design
Layout: Facebook wins here because the profiles are well set up and neatly organized and it’s easy to navigate through the profiles to find the info you want. It mainly beats MySpace because most profiles are so ugly and inconsistent.
Overall Site Design: Facebook is obviously the winner here. MySpace looks so unprofessionally done when compared to Facebook, mainly again because of it’s inconsistent design. This time its MySpace themselves, not the users, who make the site difficult to use.
Profiles: This is a tie because MySpace has a lot of customization, but Facebook’s default looks better than MySpace’s and it’s very neat and well organized.
Customization: MySpace and Facebook tie here. While Facebook lets you add and remove applications, MySpace lets you do whatever you want with the pages, if you know a little HTML that is. Unfortunately thats the reason MySpace’s design is so unruly for the most part.
Site Organization: Both site are pretty well organized. However, Facebook wins because of its clean layout that allows you to find everything right away, and it’s start page is a link to everything you need in neat and tidy boxes.
Round Winner: Facebook!
Round 2: Media
Pictures: Facebook wins here because of its well-organized picture section and the ability to tag people and have people tag themselves. Also, with the apps recently released you can now add Fiickr and other photosharing site streams to your profile. However, Fox now owns Photobucket, which provides photo hosting to MySpace users.

Hackers attack MySpace and Facebook
Buffer overflows are at the heart of a series of attacks against Facebook and MySpace, security firm Fortify Software has warned..
Criminal hackers now view social networking sites as their best target for attacks, according to Rob Rachwald, director of product marketing at Fortify Software.
Part of the reason is that such sites are designed to be usable by "unsophisticated" consumers, meaning that the barrier to entry for attacks is potentially lower as users are more likely to click on a link that leads to malware.
"A buffer overflow enabled hackers to exploit the Aurigma ActiveX image uploading software used by Facebook, MySpace and other social networking sites," said Rachwald.
"The bad news is that this exploit is being used in a hacker toolkit currently being offered for download on several Chinese language sites, meaning that novices have been able to stage these attacks, and not just professional hackers."
Rachwald argued that social networking sites can no longer limit protection to their own security practices, but must take in the practices of their suppliers.
"Had Facebook and MySpace required Aurigma to provide proof of a code audit before sourcing the plug-in this latest security issue could have been avoided," he said.

myspace VS. facebook
MySpace v. Facebook: “It’s Not A Decision. It’s an IQ Test”
Facebook’s timing is perfect. They just released an API that gives third party developers deep access to Facebook functionality and its 20 million users. Not only can these third party startups get a widget placed on people’s Facebook profiles, but they can also get viral distribution through users’ news feeds and access core Facebook features. Using the tools that Facebook made available, developers could build new versions of some of Facebook’s own applications, like Facebook Photos. Users can then remove those default applications and add the new ones. Like Microsoft with Windows, Facebook is now competing with application developers on its own platform.
This isn’t all just talk, either. The most popular third party application, iLike, has nearly 400,000 users just a couple of days after launching and 10x what they had just last Friday. That means nearly 5% of Facebook’s users have now included it on their profile.
Kopelman’s post looks at the new reality from the perspective of a startup. MySpace is a minefield - startups want access to their users but suffer from the very real possibility of being banned, either temporarily or permanently.
Facebook is viewing things from exactly the opposite position: they are giving startups access to Facebook’s core feature set, and allowing them to show advertising and conduct transactions with users without even asking for a cut. This is exactly why I called Facebook the Anti-MySpace last week. Kopelman goes on to say:

Instant Messaging service by Facebook soon!
Instant Messaging has become one of the most popular usages on the Internet. I don’t know a single person who uses the Internet that doesn’t have an instant messaging account. Whether it’s MSN Messenger, GTalk, Aim, ICQ, Skype or even services like Twitter and twhirl, everyone is connected and chatting online in some regards.
Facebook is soon to release its own Instant Messaging service in the next several days. Word has it that the chat service will be built into users profile pages and allow their friends to chat to them directly via their profile. Unfortunately, previous plans of building the chat client on the jabber framework is no longer the case. I think this is a greedy move on Facebook’s behalf, but I’m sure they have a valid reason for this, time will tell. Jabber would have allowed users using services such as GTalk (jabber based) to interface with Facebook chat - that would be ultimate connectivity, everyone so very connected!
I wonder whether this is going to be the step that takes Facebook to a new level and become the number 1 social network in the world, above MySpace. I have an idea for Facebook, that has not been done, in fact, I almost guarantee that my idea would take Facebook to the number 1 position as most interactive social network on the web :)

Msn on Facebook???
Facebook To Launch Instant Messaging Service
Facebook has been testing a new instant messaging service and will be launching it to the public soon, perhaps in the next week.
The service will be built into user’s Facebook pages and allow them to web chat with their Facebook friends. We’ve also heard that, like Gtalk, it will be built on the Jabber open source platform, allowing users to add the service to many popular Instant messaging clients like Trillian (Windows) and Adium (Mac). I’d also expect web chat services like Meebo and eBuddy to add support for the service.
This spells trouble for a slew of instant messaging services that third parties have built on Facebook. Social.IM, for example, is one (funded) startup we’ve written about a couple of times. (As is FriendVox from UK startup Techlightenment). Those applications are now basically dead.
The timing on this certainly is interesting. Yesterday AOL talked extensively about marrying their AIM platform with their newly acquired Bebo social network.

# The blog offers ways to change the colors, backgrounds and other things but you need to know the codes to enter to do it.
# Anyone Can Contact You: There is a privacy setting for your profile but that means no one can see your profile. There is no way to allow people to see your profile but still keep them from emailing your and trying to add you to their friends list. You may get a lot of people trying to add you and if you don't want just anyone sending you messages then this can become a big bother.
# Options Are Hard To Find: There are many things you can do on your MySpace profile that are not obvious. Creating a slideshow is one of those things. Adding HTML templates is another. Adding other HTML or JavaScripts is yet another. As you browse MySpace you will see some pretty amazing things on some of the profiles you come across and you will wonder how they are done because MySpace doesn't tell you.
